Summary: Great spot to stay, clean rooms & friendly owners. Bedroom tighter than expected. Biggest issue was with Vrbo as had not sent request before staying for second payment / invoice & had not been paid, was rather embarrassing. Doubt if using again.

Summary: The mill is surrounded by water and trees so, despite the excessive heat during our week's visit, we stayed more comfortable than expected. The owners are both discrete and available if necessary and the location was very good to allow us to see the things we wished to see.

Summary: We fully enjoyed our stay at Rix Mill! The most difficult part was to decide if we just stay for a lazy day in this little paradise or to go and visit some of the interesting sites in the area. The Mill is nicely renovated and the site is a gem for everybody who enjoys nature. Christine and Yves are very welcoming and the perfect hosts. They leave enough privacy but offer support whenever needed. They also know the area very well and have plenty of ideas on things to do in Burgundy. Thanks Christine & Yves for sharing your little paradise with us!

Summary: Wonderful hosts and very comfortable place to unwind. We enjoyed our stay after a busy Paris trip. The view of the pond and river that wind around the property is idyllic. Great way to relax in the French countryside. Having a washer and dryer was very nice after traveling. The house is very clean and well equipped with everything you need. My husband and I even played ping pong downstairs. Two fawns wandered in the yard to say farewell on our last day!

Summary: We loved our stay here. Your stay is in a mill from 1738 that has been renovated in a manner that balances the uniqueness of the old charm and a modern aesthetic. We travelled with our seven year old and he loved it. The property is massive, there are sheep nearby, a spaces for bocce and long walks, a boat to go down the river and a whole number of other options Christine and Yves provide. The hosts Christine and Yves are incredibly friendly and really do a fantastic job making you feel welcomed. Yves suggested that we visit Vezelay which was not on our radar and we could not have been more appreciative to not have missed it. We loved the tranquility of the property for meals surrounded by only the sound of the natural environment and the central location for trips during the day. Definitely one of our favourite places. Don't miss it.

Summary: Beautiful tranquil place, stunning location by the water, all comforts provided with Christine taking care of extra little touches that make guests feel even more welcome. Christine and Yves are delightful hosts, always ready to help. They welcomed us with delicious dinner and drinks. The Mill is so quiet it's a perfect place to relax and unwind.

After a busy day visiting local attractions it's great to return and relax with a cold drink on the terrace of the cottage. Beautiful surroundings, comfortable and tastefully decorated interior and lovely welcoming hosts make this place a truly special one!
